Existing conduits can be maintained for existing cables that are to be kept in service. Sleeve/conduits standards should be met for firestop, etc. What if some of the existing cabling isn t long enough to reach the new rack locations? Document and report cables that are not long enough to be rerouted. Installation of new cables will need to take place on a case-by-case basis.
